January - At Long Last

January Lyrics

January
Turn around before you close your eyes;
take a step back from the mesmerizing
waterfront climbing up the edge Open up your pocket to reveal the faint,
blank page that shows you how to get out of this alive
Open up your closet just so that it can remind you,
three more steps until the end of time
But soldier up trooper, just put on a smile
So I'll go ahead and take a stab in the dark,
walk on eggshells, sing to the stars
If January could come faster,
all my cares would go through the floor
I'd shine like gold, I wouldn't ask for more
Now give me something to believe in
because my hands are cold, my mouth is dry
It's pretty odd and I'm looking for a reason,
the clock ticks and the clouds seem to fly by
With blistered toes and one left mistake,

unspeakable doubts and unforgivable shame
Grasp my hand as we approach the bend,
light up our eyes and witness the end
